Is cervicitis painful?

Cervicitis is a very common gynecological disease in life, but many female friends are not sad about it and think that this disease will not have much impact on their health. The more common symptoms of cervicitis are increased vaginal discharge, white discharge, and localized pain.

1. Does cervicitis hurt?

The main symptom of cervicitis is increased vaginal discharge. The leucorrhea is milky white and mucous, sometimes yellow or pus-like. When accompanied by polyp formation, bloody leucorrhea or bleeding after sexual intercourse may occur. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity, there may be lumbar pain, lower abdominal distension and dysmenorrhea. These symptoms worsen before and after menstruation, bowel movements, and sexual intercourse. Sometimes it is accompanied by frequent urination, difficulty urinating, irregular menstruation, infertility, etc.

1. Drug treatment of chronic cervicitis

1. Local vaginal irrigation and local medication: the most commonly used treatment methods. Irrigation can be performed with 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, 1:1000 chlorhexidine solution, 1% acetic acid solution or 0.5-1% lactic acid solution. For mild and superficial cases, you can use a cotton swab dipped in 5-10% iodine tincture or 5-10% silver nitrate solution to locally corrode the eroded surface once a week to promote healing of the eroded surface. However, care must be taken during application to avoid leakage of the drug solution onto normal mucosa outside the lesion area. After applying silver nitrate, gently rub it with a cotton ball dipped in saline solution. This is now rarely used. Topical application of chloramphenicol tablets (chloramphenicol 250 mg and prednisone 5 mg tablets) should be placed deep in the vagina every night or every other night. Ten consecutive uses constitute a course of treatment. Its effect is comparable to general disinfectant irrigation and can be selected according to the situation.

2. Vaginal fornix closure: See the closure therapy in the other therapies chapter for details. It can be used for patients with chronic cervicitis complicated with paracervical connective tissue inflammation, lumbosacral pain, and obvious cervical lifting pain, which seriously affects their sexual life.

3. Chinese herbal lotion Jieryin: suitable for various acute and chronic cervicitis. Its main ingredients are Cnidium monnieri, Phellodendron chinense, Sophora flavescens, and Atractylodes lancea. Generally, 10% of the medicine solution is used for vaginal washing or sitz bathing once a day, and one course of treatment is two weeks.
